On Friday, Aug. 5, SunDub took the stage at New York’s Mercury Lounge for a performance that was billed as the band with IRIEspect and DJ Henri. What fans did not know was that virtuoso saxophonist and Trey Anastasio Band's James Casey was at the ready to assist the group on some of the night’s tunes.
The evening saw Casey perform on a handful of SunDub’s originals, including the debut of “The Wall” and “See About Tonight,” two songs that will drop via Easy Star Records this fall. Moreover, the saxophonist also lent his skills on covers of Bob Marley’s “Craven Choke Puppy,” Beres Hammond’s “Come Back Home,” and the reggae standard, “Entertainment Riddim.”
In addition to Casey, the night’s performance also included a sit-in by reggae legend and member of Steel Pulse, Sidney Mills, who assisted the ensemble – Joanna Teters, Ben Teters (Satsang), Josh T. Carter (Hayley Jane and the Primates, PEAK), Eric Toussaint and Finn Singer – on the keyboard.
SunDub shared a selection of videos from the Aug. 5 concert. Watch below.
